Timpanogos Cave National Monument Visitor Center and Cave

LocationThe visitor center, caves, and cave trail are closed for the season. The trail head for the caves is by the visitor center. They are located in American Fork Canyon on Highway 92 just 10 miles east from Interstate 15 and 17.2 miles from U.S. 189, and approximately 40 miles from Salt Lake City. The visitor center has an information desk, exhibits, and theater with orientation film.

Be aware that visitor center construction will likely occur during the 2017 season, but final construction schedules have not been set. This will likely impact cave tours. Updates including seasonal opening and closing as well as tour schedules and times will be added to this website as they become available.

Your cave tour begins and ends at the visitor center. That means the time you select when you purchase your tickets is the time you pick up your tickets at the visitor center to begin your mile-and-a-half hike to the caves. Visitors with cave tour tickets hike on their own, then join their ranger for a tour an hour and a half after they leave the visitor center.

Grotto talks are offered just outside the cave several times per day and are open for all hikers and cave visitors during the cave tour season.

'Hike with a ranger", a guided hike up the cave trail, is offered during the cave tour season on Sunday mornings through the summer and Saturday mornings through the fall, 11 a.m. Open to everyone, no ticket needed.
